For general use just opening/closing the jumper is fine. For full video timing compatibility (genlocking, A2024, ...) you'll need to change the oscillator as well.

Great - nice to see it works out. :)

I'd rather make a small circuit board for the oscillator socket though with a gate to select the clock speed - running ~30 MHz through some piece of wire doesn't necessarily do the main clock signal any good...

I was thinking the same. However, I am using 18 gauge wire to make sure I don't have an issue. Also, the switch I bought is sound (luckily). I had a switch for the crystal in my C=64 with 22 gauge wire. It messed up a lot and if I just tapped the switch I would get a blank screen. I do not have this problem on the Amiga with the setup I have.


Just don't forget about it if you do happen to run into problems later on. I wouldn't take the chance but mainly I go for cleaner setups. It's just a 7400 (or whatever is around). ;)
